how to remove LP pump?

[rd070707]

Alright guys my hdi just died there and won't go again. I changed the fuel filter a month or two ago and found metal filings so I assume this is the best place to start lol.

Any links?

Realistically running up to christmas ECP could be best to get your car back running

Or a hopeful scrap yard?

[rd070707]

Haha cheers. Is there anything else simple to check? It's never cut out before...

[Jimbo]

The brown relay behind battery
As that controls the fuel pump

[rd070707]

Just been back at the car, definately no noise from it priming with the ignition. How do I check if it's getting power?

Multi meter

[rd070707]

I meant which wires, there are a few...

[cully]

there are 4 wires
2 for level sensor
2 for fuel pump

remove the plug look at the pump connection block
you should see P+ and P- in the they are the connections for the pump

Cheers cully

Okay so I read 11.87 volts across the two thicker wires and 3.95 volts across the two thinner ones

Guessing this is fine and means my pump is fecked

Alright guys I've sourced a 2nd hand pump just need to know how to remove the screw lid holding it down...is there a special tool ?

Hammer and a big screwdriver. Carefully.

Hammer and flat head, tap it round? I think

[C2K]

No noises and voltage at the plug is a totally dead LP pump. Hammer and flat head screwdriver, the normal way around, will have the ring off. Ensure you feet it back on carefully and then drive it home the same way else it won't seal properly.

Be careful to of course put the tank seal back on your replacement pump.

Thanks for the tips guys attempting this tonight after work in the rain haha

[Piggy]

You can do it in the car though so keeps ya dry!

[rd070707]

Shhhh piggy you have to feel bad for me

[rd070707]

Lid came off in about 10 seconds, go to fit new pump to find it's the wrong one. Scrappies are useless

[Piggy]

did you remove it from a HDi?

I was under impression there was only one type in the 306 hdi

[rd070707]

It was already out of the car and it was my dad collected it and he's clueless so he just took their word. Suspect it's from a 307 or something

You might be able to take it apart and swap the actual pump? It's easy to disassemble.
